Chapter 33: Door-to-door

At the beginning, Xiao Lei asked Shi Manman to tell Xiao Yuan and asked him to check the Xiao family and not just the Xiao Mansion, otherwise he should have said the word "Xiao Mansion" instead of the "Xiao Family". Although Shi Manman told him that Xiao Jin's wound was man-made, it was very likely that he did it himself, which made him unable to believe it. But he believed in Shi Manman's other words, Xiao Jin's injury must be man-made.

So when he found out that he was labeled as a murderer, a thought formed in his mind: someone wanted him and Xiao Jin to disappear. Once something happens to them, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the entire Xiao Mansion.

The huge wealth created by Xiao Yuan is an attractive mountain of gold. Because of the contribution and achievements of the Xiao Yuan family, the Xiao Yuan family was elected as the successor of the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family's bloodline is thin, the clansmen behind it are full of incense.

With such a large property of the Xiao family, it was impossible for Xiao Yuan to take care of it alone, so he selected some people in the family to take care of the Xiao family's property. After coming into contact with the Xiao family's industry, those people were like refugees who had been famine for several years, seeing the huge granary, and the seeds of greed would grow in the environment like this.

If all the rightful heirs under Xiao Yuan's name have an accident, then naturally there are people who are worried about the "granary" and jump out, and then give it a good name: in order not to let Xiao Yuan die. Then he directed and acted by himself, and succeeded one person from the clan, becoming the rocker that leads to the mountain of gold.

"When Lei'er asked Miss Shi to tell me to investigate the Xiao family, I was suspicious at first. But ......" Xiao Yuan paused, picked up the ledger on the table, and tapped rhythmically.

In the half year that I was distracted from Lei Er, most of the shops under my name only received 20% of their income, and the rest of the 80% did not know where to go. If I don't check the accounts myself today, the Xiao family will become the history of Shicheng......" After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, the little accumulated anger in his heart suddenly exploded, and the account book in his hand was slammed into the pile of account books on the side. It was as if the pile of ledgers was the object of some kind of anger.

Liu Yemei listened to Xiao Yuan's words silently, and his often gentle and amiable face had been replaced by frost, Xiao Yuan had seen Liu Yemei's complexion twice. One was many years ago, when the Xiao family had just had their first pot of gold, but they were just about to start but were slandered by rivals in the mall for goodwill, and they almost fell short. The most recent time was when Xiao Lei encountered wolves and disappeared.

"Don't worry, since I know the problem, I won't let them succeed. Hum! Thinking about Lei'er's encounter with wolves, it may not be so simple. I was suspicious of the mountains and forests around Stone City, and I had never heard of wolves. Do you think that the surname Xiao is my Xiao family......" Xiao Yuan's eyes were no longer filled with anger, and those anger were already hidden behind the cold killing intent.

"It's late at night, you rest early. I'll read the ledger first. Xiao Lei said as he picked up another account book. Liu Yemei nodded with concern and returned to the inner room.

The silence of the city resounded with the sound of "dong dong", until the first rooster crowed, accompanied by the creak of the wooden door opening and closing, and the sound of rushing water, the whole city seemed to wake up again.

"Master, the ancestor is looking for you." The voice of the maid sounded outside the door, and Xiao Yuan realized that he had read the account book for a night, and he didn't know when he fell asleep. He stood up, and at some point the robe he had been wearing fell to the ground. He bent down to pick up his robe, only to see the willow eyebrows lying on the soft collapse. He put the robe on Liu Yemei's body, and softly pushed open the door and asked the maid who delivered the message, "Do you know what?" ”

The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know, the old ancestor only explained one sentence to ask the master to come over." ”

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Xiao Yuan stopped talking, and was about to leave after cleaning up casually.

"Sir, wait. The concubine will go with you. Liu Yemei chased out of the house and called, he didn't sleep well all night, and Liu Yemei's eyes were conspicuously blue.

At this time on weekdays, Liu Yemei went to Grandmother Xiao's hospital on time to say goodbye, if she didn't go today, it would be abnormal.

The two arrived at Grandmother Xiao's courtyard together, and Grandmother Xiao seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and the tea in the cup had already drunk more than half of it.

"How long do you want to hide from me?" After the two entered the room, Grandmother Xiao suddenly said a word, with a hint of anger and restrained trembling in her words.

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, guessing in his heart that the concealment that Xiao Grandmother said was Xiao Jin's business or Xiao Lei's business. He had to hesitate on the spot and think about how to answer appropriately.

"I can't do it when I'm dead! Jin'er is injured! Xiao Lei was arrested! Such a big thing is hidden from me one by one, are you going to wait for me to enter the coffin! Grandmother Xiao said as she threw the tea cup on the table in front of Xiao Yuan, and the crisp cracking sound exploded the splashing tea, and the tea mixed with water splashed on Xiao Yuan's shoes and clothes.

Xiao Yuan quickly glanced at Aunt Sun who was standing beside Grandmother Xiao, and there was no change in expression on Aunt Sun's pale old face.

When Grandmother Xiao said this, it meant that she already knew everything, and there was no need to hide it anymore.

"The son doesn't want his mother to hurt her spirit." Xiao Yuan said.

"Don't want me to hurt my mind? Do you really think of me as an ignorant old lady in the inner house? What can you find? Grandmother Xiao held back the anger that bred it, and Xiao Yuan's blind duty was useless.

"It's not ...... yet" Xiao Yuan actually has some eyebrows in his heart, but he doesn't want to startle the snake.

"Aunt Sun, you say!" Grandmother Xiao stared, his son is good at everything, but he is not resolute enough to do things, and he is simply decisive.

Aunt Sun, who was standing on the side with her eyebrows lowered, took a step forward and slowly arrived: "Back to the ancestors, master." The slave maid found out that a month ago, the doctor and his family at Baiyi Pharmacy had all returned to their hometown, leaving him alone in Shicheng. In the same month, the grandson of the second elder of the Xiao clan stayed in the pharmacy for a while, and then came into contact with the medicine boy in the pharmacy one after another. ”

A few words that had nothing to do with it, Xiao Yuan immediately found the connection.

"Did they plan it so long ago? However, Lei'er's whereabouts were still unknown at that time. He's going to deal with ...... Is it Jin'er?! Xiao Yuan muttered to himself, and suddenly a chill suddenly appeared.

He has always been very generous to the people of the Xiao clan because of his ancestors, but he didn't expect his generosity to be exchanged for such a result.

"Jin'er is just a woman, why ......" Liu Yemei asked in disbelief when she heard Xiao Yuan's words, covering her mouth.

"But I still remember that when the people in the clan came to the door, Jin'er said to them, 'Even if the Xiao family has no male grandson, and she is a female grandson, she would rather not marry a son-in-law than succeed in these villains.' Grandmother Xiao said, her words full of pity.

"Lei'er, when they killed their mouths, they caused a disaster. Unexpectedly, it became two birds with one stone for them. Although Xiao Yuan was self-deprecating, there was no initial melancholy in his eyes.

"Master, the patriarch is looking for you. I can't stop it......" Steward Zhang trotted over with an anxious face, the sweat on his face didn't know whether he was tired or scared. This has been a dereliction of duty for the past few days.
